News

“Don’t talk about the government or security.. If you say anything about the government or security, I’ll cut out the broadcast…”

This is not a State Security officer talking… This is Mr. Tarek Nassar who runs a private studio with a contract with Bush’s Al-Hurra TV in Cairo talking to Ahmad Maher, the Facebook activist who was tortured by Mubarak’s State Security pigs, prior to an interview… Maher was taken off air shortly later…via Hossam el-Hamalawy
